    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    Never had an oil smell with my Gravermiester because it did not burn much oil/trans fluid. I replaced the carbon vanes in a regular basis over the 20 odd years I used it. Cuts down on oil use and burning/smell. Also never had an overheating problem with the enclosure and muffin fan air flow...

    Question: Engraving knife blades / hardening

    If I had my choice I would shape the blade and bring it close but not to finish polish. Then with the blade still in the soft state, create the cavities and bur field. Inlay the precious metal, sand or stone it to just short of finish level. Then clay coat the blade Japanese style and heat...

    inlays

    If inlays are to be flush and require sanding or stoning it is usually best to do that part of the inlay process before any close by engraving is done. Detailing of the inlay can follow after the surrounding engraving is completed, and sometimes after a finish such as bluing on steel is applied.
